Gender relations and gender identity (changes)

Tags 

Gender roles and characteristics in almost all societies have undergone many recent

adjustments and changes in response to technological change, which has led to

massive economic and social changes in all parts of the world. Changes in gender

roles and relations often meet resistance, in particular from cultural forces of tradition.

Anticipating and preparing for most likely forms of resistance in relation to change in

activities or the status and position of women is a valuable part of a project’s gender

strategy.

Gender analysis can demonstrate that change in certain aspects of social roles and

relations between women and men can improve the quality and conditions of life for

everyone. (1)
